HOST TOURNAMENTS

Host tournaments are constructed by

hosts to give the rider added fun and

another reason to ride. Host

tournaments may be a series of rides

put on by one host or can be a series

of rides put on by multiple hosts.

Hosts typically offer prizes for the top

riders and/or equines in their

tournaments. They may charge a fee

with each event entry or it may be

sponsored, making it free to the rider.

Check our website to see which

events are a part of a host

tournament,

BREED TOURNAMENTS

Breed tournaments are tournaments

that are sponsored by a breed

association. These tournaments

typically run from January through

December and are available to annual

members. To be eligible for a breed

association tournament, simply make

sure your equine’s record is updated

with his/her breed association

information in the ETS system. Any

time you ride, your equine’s scores

are automatically calculated into the

breed association tournament. Check

our website for full details with our

breed association tournaments,

ANYONE CAN CREATE A

TOURNAMENT

Tournaments are not restricted to

National, Regional, Host, or Breed

Associations. A tournament can be

constructed based on many different

criteria options for any set of riders or

equines. They can be based on the

event type (In Hand, Trail, Arena, etc)

rider age, date range, location, host

group, based on bracket, based on

scores or ranking points, etc etc. If

you’d like to sponsor a tournament or

set up a tournament for a specific set

of riders and/or equines in the ETS

system, simply email

([email protected]) or

call (512-538-1580) us and we will

make it happen!
